              Meetup @ the BPL: Monstrous Births, Powerful Midwives: The Battle Over Women\u2019s Bodies in 17th-Century Boston<\/strong><\/p>\n

              Speaker: Eve LaPlante
              \nTitle: Monstrous Births, Powerful Midwives: The Battle Over Women\u2019s Bodies in 17th-Century Boston

              In public, women in seventeenth-century Boston could not vote, own property, hold office, or sign legal documents. In private, they had a great deal of power: they healed the sick, cared for the wounded, and served as midwives, overseeing the dramatic, life-or-death moment of childbirth. However, this power was regarded as threatening to the social order\u2014midwives were frequently blamed when \u201cmonsters\u201d were born with birth defects or babies or mothers died. Eve LaPlante discusses how Puritans viewed women\u2019s power and women\u2019s bodies, in this life and in the afterlife.<\/p>\n

              LaPlante is the author of many articles and essays and five nonfiction books, including American Jezebel, a portrait of the colonial heretic and founding mother Anne Hutchinson. LaPlante won the 2008 Massachusetts Book Award for Nonfiction for Salem Witch Judge.<\/p>\n

              Every fall, the Partnership of Historic Bostons hosts a multitude of free programs exploring an intriguing aspect of Puritan life. This year\u2019s Boston Charter Day theme is Death and Disease in 17th-Century Massachusetts.<\/p>\n
